Наткнулся на вот этот «крик души» http://kuoi.org/~kamikaze/read.php?id=157
Выдержки:
I don't feel bad when someone uses my BSD-licensed code to make money, I feel happy.
The GPL is solely about jealousy: they aren't making any money, so they hate anyone else who is making money. It's the same mental disorder that makes hippies hate all corporations and businesses, because they're dirt-poor and stupid, so they resent anyone else who isn't.
There are alternative CPUs for which gcc is the only real compiler, but that's not a positive feature, that's a tragedy.
To a working programmer, GPL software is useless, because you can't include it in your software at work. So the only ones who find GPL software's «freedom to modify» useful are bored college students and useless hippies.
(О Столлмане)
His motivation is to steal your software and make it part of the FSF, so that all new software development ends, all commercial software goes out of business, and finally the demon of jealousy screeching in his head can stop.
